St. Mary’s Church – Springfield Center, NY

St. Mary’s, Springfield Center, is a friendly parish of open-minded people from a variety of religious traditions and backgrounds. The first Episcopal services were held in Springfield Center in 1875 in the Universalist Church. The congregation then built a Gothic shingle style church, a Queen Anne style rectory, and an arts and crafts style parish hall originally built to house a small convent and school. This stucco parish house houses the Chapel of the Holy Child appointed with needlework exhibited at the 1898 World’s Fair. Today St. Mary’s maintains its historic buildings while supporting many local, national, and international ministries. The mission of St. Mary’s is “a diverse community working together to share the Good News of God’s love.”
